was the initial assessment of the protest in benghazi, happening at about the same time protest in cairo and elsewhere were happening over this anti-muslim video that was cited by the administration. susan rice was sent out with that assessment. she also said they believed extremist elements were involved and that was the best information they had. that was accurate. a couple of weeks later, the office of the national director of intelligence, clapper, his spokesman came out and said we were wrong, there was no protest. so, what happened was the assessment went from being "we think there were protests and extremist groups might have exploited the moment and attacked" and then it went to this was not even a protest. the fact is this was a really tough, fob gulf war situation, without people -- fog of war situation without people on the ground. it was not entirely clear, and indeed it is still not entirely clear who these extremist elements were, and there was a possibility that the protest were connected in that extremist groups that launched the attack were inspired by what they saw on t
